About a month ago, I had a knowing/feeling that the time is now. These words echoing in my mind caught me by surprise because I had become used to interminable waiting: year after year, decade after decade. Given the import of the message, I asked the Universe for confirming signs. About two weeks ago I was sitting on the shore of the Mediterranean Sea when a rainbow suddenly appeared, the first and only one I have seen since fleeing Ukraine six months ago:
The beautiful display lasted only a few minutes, briefly becoming a double rainbow before vanishing. I took it as a confirmation because just a week before on August 27th, the channeler Blossom Goodchild had received this message from the collective of consciousness known as the Federation of Light:
IN YOUR SKIES. THERE WILL BE A SIGN.
The purpose of the sign will be to confirm that:
THE LIGHT HAS WON
I knew/felt that the rainbow I saw was not the dramatic and globally visible sign that the Federation has predicted; nevertheless it was a preliminary sign in the sky, one among many that would be appearing leading up to the main event. I counted it as a confirmation of the message I had received that the time is now. But this particular rainbow also held also had personal significance. I took it as a sign of hope pertaining to a challenging situation I was involved in at the time: a pressing need to find new accommodation. A week later suitable accommodation appeared at the last minute in a quite miraculous way.
I have an agreement with the Universe that three confirming signs are enough to prompt me to decide or to act when a decision or action is called for. So, I watched and waited for two more confirmations. The Universe is flexible and can accommodate individual preferences in such matters. Some people, for example, respond to a specific type of sign such as the appearance of 11:11 or some other pattern. I let the Universe decide the form of the sign, as long as they number three. That has been my rule since early childhood. I don’t remember who decided that. Was it me or was it the Universe?
Another confirmation came on September 11 when Blossom asked the Federation if the rainbows that were seen over Windsor Castle and Buckingham Palace shortly after the death of Queen Elizabeth II were the predicted sign in the sky. The response was an immediate no, followed by:
…the death of this Monarch will bring about great change regarding how your world is viewed. The rainbows are a symbol of Hope. They bring Joy to the Heart and it was felt necessary for such a ‘display’ to be presented.
Much is to unfold. Much is to come to Light in these days ahead and much will leave many in great distress … due to that which is brought forth. This is nothing new and yet, we would say that the passing of this ‘ruler’ will be the ‘layer’ which sets the ball rolling.
The fact that the Federation specifically identified rainbows as preliminary signs in the sky I counted as a second confirmation. The third confirmation appeared three days ago when the following words were delivered by the Federation:
THE TIME IS NOW.
These were the exact words that had echoed through my mind a month before. Message received.
My response to this message is to begin this new substack series Metamystical Musings with an account of how a mystic like myself operates, as given above. Being a mystic is like being surrounded by fog (the myst) and peering through it, alert for a glimpse of what lies beyond when the fog occasionally disperses for a moment; using every available physical and nonphysical sense to navigate: watching for signs, listing for echoes, intuiting the hidden terrain, whether awake or dreaming. The doing part of it is like a treasure hunt. The being part of it is to maintain a state of wonder and awe while engaged in the game of life.
I have mentioned the channeler Blossom Goodchild in passing before, but for this new series I intend to include channeled material from her and others. When I do so, it is because the material rings true for me, not necessarily in a precisely factual sense, but in an energetic sense. As always readers must apply their own discernment, for I am fallible. If what I pass on from others doesn’t ring true for you also, then just throw it out the window, as Merlin once put it. If nothing else, what you read here may stimulate your thoughts in directions that you might not have otherwise considered. Following are further excerpts from the September 18 channeling, three days ago, elaborating on the meaning of the time is now.
There is much Celebration taking place in Higher Realms.
There is much concern taking place in lower realms, for it is known what is to come and how their fate is to play out.
The lower controllers of your Planet are running scared, would we say.
For it is written …
THE LIGHT HAS WON.
THE LIGHT IS IN CONTROL OF THE COMING PLANS THAT ARE FALLING INTO PLACE.
It may seem to many, as these plans unfold, that everything ‘appears’ to be getting more insane and that all around makes no sense.
All that ‘appears’ to be … is most likely to be the opposite of that which is actually taking place behind the scenes.
WE TELL YOU THIS …
YOU WARRIORS OF LIGHT HAVE BEEN SENT TO YOUR PLANET TO COMPLETE A MISSION.
Part of this mission involves you being unable to KNOW the roles that you are assigned to play in a literal form. Yet, of course, one knows in a general form that FOR NOW … GROWING INTO WHO YOU TRULY ARE … means you are most definitely on track.
YOU CAN FEEL THE CHANGE WITHIN YOU.
YOU WILL FEEL IT MORE AND MORE AS THE INCOMING ENERGIES BLEND WITH THE LIGHTNESS OF YOURSELF.
With that LIGHTNESS … comes more understanding.
As more understanding awakens another aspect of your Self, and then another, and then another … more and more of THIS GAME will make sense to you … and you shall become more confident in your waiting … in the KNOWING that YOU TRULY ARE READY for whatever it is you came here to complete.
YOU CAME TO CHANGE YOUR WORLD.
YOU!
HOW BRIGHT YOUR TRUE LIGHT MUST BE IN ORDER TO BE CHOSEN TO BE ON YOUR PLANET NOW AT THIS VERY AUSPICIOUS TIME.
THE GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH …
THE GREATEST MOVIE EVER …
SHALL BE OPENED UNTO YOU AND NEVER AGAIN WILL ONE BE WAITING FOR SOMETHING TO HAPPEN … FOR THE BALL TO GET ROLLING.
I sense the time of celebration approaching, when, as White Cloud said through Blossom recently:
How I love you. How we in other realms honor and admire your courage. How we know of the celebrations that are to take place when the transformation has occurred. Until it does, imagine your celebrations. Visualize the joy as you look into one another’s eyes and without saying a word, your eyes say: we did it. WE DID IT.
If we hold a vision of victory, it will be easier to navigate the tumultuous times ahead, during which we will be called upon to render service. Prepare yourselves accordingly. And hold on to your hats.
My own assigned role in the Greatest Movie Ever is beginning to become more clear. I understand better why I was guided to live in Ukraine. Ukraine lies on the frontier (which is the very meaning of its name) between East and West, which are now in conflict. And our home in Ukraine is near the boundary between the eastern and western regions of Ukraine, which are also in conflict, mirroring the greater civilizational conflict.
Years ago, my wife and I were at a rock and gem show because we both have a great interest in the mineral kingdom. Over the years we have gathered a modest collection of stones but on this particular day, I saw a large quartz/amethyst druse that I immediately fell in love with. It is now sitting on a table in our home in Ukraine and although we are not there now, I focus light/love on it from afar, to support it in restoring balance to our planet through the energy/consciousness matrix.
Consider the Federation’s message from July 24th:
Become friends with your crystals. They are not just a pretty face!
Get to know them.
Talk to them.
Listen to them.
You will find they will let you know where they need to be placed and what their purpose is.
Treat them well.
Treat them wisely.
Above all … respect them. The large and the small.
They play a large role in this Game that is Being played on your Planet. From one the size of a pea, to one the size of a Starship.
In a sense, they are as important as the trees of your Planet giving out oxygen. These ‘Knowledge containers’ maintain balance to all around them.
To which I add:
The magic runes are writ in gold, to bring the balance back. — Led Zeppelin
Balance is the cardinal rule of magic. — Right Use of Will
One of the reasons us light-warriors/starseeds incarnated on Earth is because in doing so we became part of the planetary energy/consciousness matrix and can influence it in a way that beings outside the matrix cannot. The catch is that we have to accomplish this task without the benefit of our full awareness as souls, having immersed ourselves into the dark energy that this planet has been hostage to for milennia. But despite the fog that surrounds us, we can find all we need to accomplish our task in the truth of our being. We will lift this planet out of darkness together. If you have the inclination, I welcome you to send light/love to my crystal-being in Ukraine, or to a crystal-being of your own. We humans are special creatures, able to bring light into darkness on behalf of our Creator.
In the session three days ago, Blossom asked the Federation about the veracity and meaning of this cloud formation, which was purported to have appeared recently in Russia:
Blossom wanted confirmation that these images were not a hologram or otherwise fake. The Federation had this to say in response:
Let us be clear this is not the Sign that we speak of. That is to come. Yet, it is from Realms of Higher Vibrational Frequencies and would we say, it is ‘Artists at play.’
Clouds are so easy to manipulate into shape, from our regard.
A long while ago we spoke to you of ‘things’ appearing in the sky that would give you Hope and would be the lead up to something bigger to come. This is the kind of portrayal we were referring to.
There are to be many more ‘build ups’ to the one Bigger Sign. These will come in the form of Rainbows, Cloud Ships … Formational Clouds, and such like. As we have always said ‘Eyes to the skies’, Dearest Ones.
That these “Wings of Glory” (as described by the Federation) appeared in Russia is very significant to me. In the Russian language “glory” is “слава” or “slava.” The Slavic (glorious) people did indeed have a glorious prehistory (referred to in my post Back to Eden), before they succumbed to darkness, some of them even becoming slaves (referring to Slavics enslaved by Spanish Muslims). But the glorious people never entirely forgot their roots, as expressed by the Siberian writer Sandy Krolick:
I am referring to the thoroughly mythologized Russian soul: a soul that in the mother tongue is feminine in gender — душа [dushá] — and, as such, is intimately connected with the mystery of Mother Earth. Recall Dostoevsky’s many references to the Russian soul as a reflection of the people’s unfailing and non-negotiable connection to the land from which life springs. There is a well-articulated and indestructible sentiment among our people that does not allow complete separation, physically or emotionally, from the land in which they were born and where they naturally survive and flourish. The Russian people have the greatest appreciation for, love of and attachment to their homeland and families, as well as to the broader ties of kinship these entail. They understand all of this to be intimately connected, as their language makes abundantly clear:
род [rod]: family, kind, sort, genus родина [ródina]: homeland, motherland родители [rodíteli]: parents родить [rodít']: to give birth роднить [rodnít']: to unite, bring together родовой [rodovói]: ancestral, tribal родство [rodstvó]: kinshipOver their history, Russians have had to endure the hardships and struggles of political turmoil and repeated invasion, and Siberians understand struggle as a given, as part of the cycle of life, death and nature. The normal conditions of existence here, whether in the city or the village, are not what we Americans would consider easy, convenient, or comfortable (although they are improving). Those who live here have preserved some age-old instincts in order to survive, and even to celebrate life in the midst of recurrent hardships and strife. The personal and cultural resolve that personifies this soul has been forged over generations of people facing down aggression, natural and political, then calmly and courageously returning to their roots and rebuilding their lives upon an archaic foundation in which they never lost faith. It is impossible to understand the depth and mystery of this soul separately from its rootedness in the simplicity of the Russian peasantry and the inviolability of the Russian soil. There is an earthly sensuousness that infuses the Russian experience; this culture remains drenched in the primacy of the body and the natural world that nourishes it. This autochthonous connection to the land—the Siberian’s more elemental experience of life in wilder, mysterious nature—may still be capable of influencing the future trajectory of both the new Russia and Western civilization.
The indomitable Russian soul endured in the Siberian taiga as personified by Anastasia. Her ancestral lineage has preserved the ancient wisdom of Ved-Rus (knowers of light), and now restores it to the world as the famous psychic healer Edgar Cacye predicted:
… for changes are coming, this may be sure — an evolution, or revolution in the ideas of religious thought. The basis of it for the world will eventually come out of Russia; not communism, no! But rather that which is the basis of the same, as the Christ taught — His kind of communism! (1930, No. 452-6)
In Russia there comes the hope of the world, not as that sometimes termed of the communistic, or Bolshevik, no; but freedom, freedom! That each man will live for his fellow man! The principle has been born. It will take years for it to be crystallized, but out of Russia comes again the hope of the world.” (1944, No. 3976-29)
The time is now.
Many years ago I explained to a spirit guide that I was not happy with the situation I was in but that I put up with it in the hope that somehow it would change for the better in the future. He responded with great intensity: There is no future!
The time is now.
The present moment is the point of power — Seth
The time is now.
Carpe Diem (Seize the Day) — Horace
The time is now.
There is so much in this I resonate with. Greatest show on earth - yes. Here intentionally for this time, with a mission, yup. Positive outcome for humanity - 100%. Incoming energies - what I think of as higher frequency energies - are pushing us to shed the old and embody more of who we are - again, we're aligned here. I really enjoyed this, didn't realize you were living in Ukraine - what a tumultuous time for you and yours. I really appreciate the focus you keep despite those challenges. Best to you.
❤️🩹 I will keep my eyes on the skies as well as substack and look forward to more posts.
I love it! This is completely unrelated but is my own story. Earlier today I took my daughter to the little creek nearby our house. She had bought a fishing net and was hoping to catch something (she did not, except a few small minnows that leaped out). I decided to wade in the creek. As I was walking I heard something moving in the background: large and probably a snake. I looked for it on the ridge but saw nothing. Perhaps 30 seconds later a small snake began slithering right towards me in the water. It was making a perfect S shape and it was surreal to me, as I have never come across a snake in the water in real life. When it was about 1 foot from my ankles I screamed out and the snake went to the side of the creek. Here's the funny thing. I got a great look at the snake headed right towards me. It was a red necked keelback, juvenile and maybe 8 or 9 inches long. They are extremely venomous but have to really plunge in to bite. Something about back fangs. The thing is this snake was about the right age now as the red necked baby keelback I had released by this same creek three or four months before. I think it was the same snake , which is all I can figure by the surreal way this thing was coming right at me. I'm glad if the little guy is alive and prosperous and perhaps my girl is right that he was just trying to get away from the big snake! They eat their own kind, you know...
